To eliminate yellow, add purple. This was the realization that the scientists behind SmileFusion's teeth-whitening products came to when they created each product's signature lavender-hued gel. The at-home whitening kit's two-step process incorporates a gel infused with Xylitol—a tasty, FDA- and ADA-approved additive that helps strengthen enamel and reduce plaque—and a gel that contains Viocin, a special coloring compound that helps eliminate off-whites. After the treatment, teeth will be brighter, whiter, and more talkative at cocktail parties. The same advanced brightening technology can be found in SmileFusion's toothpaste, which boasts a gentler formula for everyday whitening and a mint flavor. Both signature products treat teeth with compassion, since they do not cause pain or turn your teeth invisible.

While spas often list eyelash extensions as part of their service menu, Extensions by Lindy focuses solely on lash enhancements to deliver comfortable, natural-looking results. During eyelash-extension sessions, a beauty professional adheres synthetic lashes individually to the original set using glue from Blink Lash Care that lasts up to six weeks, as long as clients will last in staring contests with their bolstered eye confidence. If properly cared for, the low-maintenance lashes eliminate the need for mascara.
In addition to applying eyelash extensions, the skilled staff uses its experience to train students during an in-depth certification course. Over the span of eight hours, professionals share tips on how to quickly apply synthetic lashes with precision. Fully immersed in the world of lashes, Extensions by Lindy even sells some lash implements on its website, including crystal-coat sealant and mascara wands that empower wizards to make anything beautiful but still itself.
Artist Marge Rosebrook creates spun-glass replicas of Latter-day Saints temples from around the globe, channeling 30 years of glass-working experience to perfect the crystalline sculptures. Drops and swoops of glass become recognizable versions of each temple, whether the originals are located in Albuquerque or in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The angel Moroni atop each can be coated in 18-karat gold upon request, and the various sculptures come in four sizes, including small temples that make excellent Christmas ornaments or wedding-cake toppers. Glass domes can encapsulate the temple and connect to walnut or mirrored bases to protect temples from dust and keep them sparkling.

What kind of tree is this? I am looking for a similar tree for my patio area, this one belongs to my neighbor and seems a good fit. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Possibly a ficus? Whatever it is, it appears as though they keep hacking it back to keep it with bounds and it's not able to show any natural grace..... But then......I could be wrong..... |
It looks like a pruned ficus to me, too. But I am far from a tree expert. They can be pruned into nice topiary shapes. I thought a bay laurel might work better because it requires less water. |
Appears to be a Camellia japonica that has been shaped badly. |
lol...that was my second choice... |
Ah yes I do think it had white flowers earlier this year. It looks cute to me. |
Looks like a camellia to me, too. Probably not hacked up because they don't grow that big, but they aren't particularly graceful in form. On the other hand they have nice, shiny evergreen foliage, a long bloom season, no thorns and would be more likely to work in your courtyard. Have you thought about columnar evergreens? They might be a better choice, albeit without flowers. |
Well today I just went ahead and planted the other side with perennials, no tree. I think I need to take more time to figure out what will work there and what I want. I looks so much better now just with the plants, and I am looking for a couple of wall-mount half-urns (in a classical or mediterranean style) to put on the stucco wall along the right side, where the carport is. I think some creeping rosemary in there with some ivy geraniums or some other colorful flowers will add interest to the wall. I also added another pot with a dwarf lime tree in addition to my potted dwarf meyer lemon. I'll take some more pics soon! At some point I want to add a tree, but it's probably better to wait until closer to the rains anyway. |
Sure it is a Camellia, and your neighbor has shaped it to provide a little screen above the fence. It can grow another 10 feet should they want that, or it can be cut down to the ground and be grown with multiple trunks. The Camellia japonica is wonderfully flexible in growth habit in the right climate. Al |
C. Sasanquas are massive when left alone. My neighbor's house is virtually invisible behind a screen of those shrubs planted back in the 1940's. They have trunks almost as thick as trees! I prefer the more delicate C. reticulata and the new hybrid vase-shaped forms. I have a "Taylor's Perfection" and people literally stop in their tracks when it's in bloom. |

A camellia is a good choice. You can prune it up into a small tree, and they have gorgeous foliage. |
I read more about them - sounds like they prefer some share. My neighbor's tree is in the shade of our carport, whereas my area gets very little shade, only in the morning. AFternoon it is all full sun! |
Sasanqua Camellias can take full sun. Even Camellia japonicas can take full sun if you are reasonably close to the coast. The key thing is to keep the root system fully shaded and cool, either with the foliage of the plant, or with a thick but fluffy mulch. The reason for this is that Camellias have small, shallow, and sensitive root systems that easily dry out, and are easily stressed by heat. They also need plenty of oxygen, which is why a thick mulch should be light and fluffy, so that the roots are not smothered. In nature, Camellias are small trees that live in the shade of large trees, with the sasanqua types getting more sun or lots of sun at the forest edges. Understanding where a plant fits into its natural environment helps. |
Thanks for the additional info, that's why I came here where people know what they are talking about! I am on the SF peninsula, but not in a coastal/fog area - lee side of the mountains. It doesn't sound like a Camellias would like my front garden, where the soil is heavy clay - very hard packed - and the sun is intense at all times of year. We're on the sunny side of the carport, the neighbor has that shade. There is no unit to the other side to shade us at all. I just hoped to have a tree to block a line of sight from the upper levels of the homes across the street, a smallish tree with a good canopy and non-invasive roots (next to walkway) would be great! |
Hmm, if it is mainly the roots that need to stay cooler, perhaps the shade of the fence in the afternoon will be sufficient? The gate faces SW so that far corner of the garden is shaded by the fence after about 1 or 2pm, it gets morning sun and on those hot days the soil can get quite hot, but I have some shredded redwood mulch and could add more for the tree if it likes it. The tree would still get full sun on the part extending above the fence. The other tree I am considering is a bay laurel - standard form, but they are so slow growing it would take forever to screen the neighbor's view of our front door (their balcony across the street seen here). |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 12 at 1:07
I think a few bottlebrush trees would look nice. They can be pruned to be narrow, and have a weeping habit. They are also relatively low water plants. Renee |
I want a camellia for sure for the back patio, and maybe one for the front - or a fruitless olive. I love the camellia's foliage and form and the flowers are a bonus - and it's nontoxic to cats so I can include it in the "catio" :) Bottlebrush are a possibility too for the front, I hadn't really considered aesthetically because it often looks scraggly and bushy. Now it's a matter of finding some nice sized shrubs/trees in a nursery, I was at Summerwinds, OSH and HD today and didn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone on the SF peninsula have recommendations for plant stores/nurseries that might have better tree selections? I can special order from Summerwinds but I don't know how long it takes and I'd rather see the plant I am buying. |
I ruled out bottlebrush after seeing they are in the top 5 for allergies - I have some pollen allergies so I don't think I should plant something potentially allergenic to me! Then I suddenly remembered - Manzanita! How could I have forgotten these? They come in shrub or tree types, have interesting branches, evergreen leaves, low water and are fairly fast growing. Today I bought 2 different upright-tending types and planted them. However they are only tiny right now, the little 2' ones were $8 and the next size up was a $100 huge pot, not even sure I could dig the hole for one that big anyway. So it may be a while before they are appreciably taller than the perennials there. One is "Austin Griffin" manzanita, matures at 8-10' and has an upright habit, and the one I planted on the end corner where it has the most space is Dr. Hurd which should reach 10' and have a more branching canopy. And I got a lovely Camellia for the back patio, it's a Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro' about 3' tall and the tag listed it as part shade or full sun. I hope it will like the back patio area because it will get full sun for 1-3 hours in the AM depending on the time of year, and shade after 1pm even in summer. The nursery told me the red and pink varieties are more sun tolerant than the white, I originally wanted the Yuletide camellia but the tag on it said filtered sun, so I wasn't sure if it would like full sun for part of the day... so I bought the Kanjiro instead. Here it is... after it blooms this winter I plan to remove some of the lower branches to encourage it to grow more upright. |

Bing Maps/Wikipedia740 Park Avenue is a legendary address, at one time considered (and still thought to be by some) the most luxurious and powerful residential building in New York City.
The co-op, on the corner of 71st Street and Park Avenue, has an impressive past.
Built in 1929 by the grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis--who lived there as a child--740 Park has just 31 residences that have, over time, commanded some of the highest real estate prices in New York history.
Its roster of residents, past and present, reads like a "who's who" of New York's wealthiest and most famous citizens.
It's even the subject of a 2005 book by Michael Gross (he now runs a blog about the building).
Imagine who you'd run into in the elevator.

We use our toaster oven at least once if not twice daily. In addition to toasting we use it to reheat just about anything that's not liquid-y and 'cook' small meals for the kids like corn dogs, pizzas, etc. Would an appliance like an advantium replace a toaster oven? Does it toast? (I like to toast bagels and English muffins close faced so the outside is toasted and the inside stays soft.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you make toast, the only thing you can replace a toaster oven with is a toaster. Speed ovens, MWs, etc. don't toast. You can use a broiler in an oven to toast, but you have to watch it constantly and turn the bread over. |
I've gotten rid of my toaster oven several times--well, I put it in the garage. It keeps coming back. It's better than a toaster toaster and does other stuff too. I'll have had it 20 years in January. So no. I don't think you can get rid of it. :P |

Lubbock lit up when Alien Ant Farm and Kaleido rocked the Depot District's BackStage Thursday night.
I've been friends with Terry Corso since he was in Powerman 5000, which was in between stints with his original band, Alien Ant Farm. When I heard they were coming back to town for "The Big Night Out Tour" I shot a quick message to catch up.
Fuel, Alien Ant Farm, Lit, and Hoobastank? Yes, please!
Fuel, Alien Ant Farm, Lit, and Hoobastank? Yes, please!
If you're looking to go the coolest throwback show of the year, "The Big Night Out Tour," then if you're ready Thursday and Friday you can score 6 tickets for $66!
We've got a very fun night coming up July 21st. On the bill is Fuel, Hoobastank, Lit and Alien Ant Farm. This is great opportunity for you to check a bunch of bands off your bucket list and a great chance to party. More after the jump.
Are you ready for "Movies at Mervyns". The old Mervyns location in South Plains mall is being converted into a 16 screen Uber-Theater complex. Among the plans are an Imax screen, and in at least one theater seats that move along with the soundtrack of the movie (take Dramamine). Having movies at the Mall is a welcome return, having competition in town should also mean a greater variety of flicks. After the jump, check out "Movies" by Alien Ant Farm.

Kernel 2.6.29 Arrives: Btrfs, Fastboot, WiMAX and Mode Setting
Kernel 2.6.29 has arrived and brings with it a string of new features. We're presenting some of them and describe what to make of them.
New to 2.6.29 (codenamed "Tuz") is kernel graphic mode setting, which gives users an immediate screen view. It sets the color depth and resolution and senses whether multiple monitors are involved (multihead setups) and spontaneously reacts to those newly acquired (hotplug).
The central management of graphic mode setting eliminates any conflicts that can arise with multiple graphics drivers that access the cards alternately or in parallel (such as VGA, X.org or FB). The enhancement also benefits suspend/resume whereby you can run X.org without root privileges and make any rapid user switching almost imperceptible.
The benefits of graphic mode setting are unfortunately limited to Intel users at the moment, because X.org drivers would also need to support the feature. Without this support, there's greater chances of system crashes. The X.org support for graphic mode setting with other graphics cards is still in beta stages.
The Btrfs filesystem developed by Oracle engineer Chris Mason is also a new feature of Tuz. However, the warning is that it's still under "heavy development" and currently unstable. Meanwhile the Ext4 filesystem was also added, but in no journal mode (with a small performance increase), and the Squashfs read-only filesystem used in Live-CDs is also finally included. Finally, the eCryptfs option encrypts not only files but their names by using a Filename Encryption Key (FNEK).
The mac80211 WiFi stack now supports access point (AP) mode with help of the kernel and hostapd daemon. Configuration is allowed only via the cfg80211 API and not iwconfig or WEXT, which the wireless drivers need to support. Access point support also brings with it a power-saving feature during longer idle periods.
The new kernel also provides new driver support (SMSC LAN911x, LAN921x and LAN9420) and the older hci_usb Bluetooth driver was removed. As far as WiMAX, Tuz has its own stack, provided by Intel, and also delivers a driver for Intel's Wireless WiMAX/Wi-Fi Link 5x50 USB/SDIO devices.
Among further Tuz developments is integration with Arjan van de Vens's Fastboot patch, albeit still disabled by default because of some instability. Courageous developers can still activate it by using the fastboot kernel parameter to accelerate the boot process through parallelization. Having been tweaked, suspend and resume should also provide better functionality. Improved support in the kernel for 4096 CPUs is also welcome, with promises for other CPU support in the future.
Finally, the kernel supports a number of drivers in the staging/ directory, such as the rt2860 and rt2870 wireless drivers, which by definition makes them experimental and somewhat unstable, but supported nonetheless to spur on further development.

During a phone conversation between U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on July 12, Turkey
has reportedly agreed to stay out of the Iranian nuclear talks and to
leave the issue to U.N. Security Council powers and the International
Atomic Energy Agency, AP reported July 13 citing an unnamed US official.
This report is likely to be a response to follows from a July ? another
report story in of the Iranian daily, Tehran Times, newspaper which
claimed that the Vienna Group has agreed to include Turkey and Brazil in
nuclear talks. The AP report - which is yet to be confirmed - and is
likely a leak which aims to try and shape the Iranian perception rather
than reflecting the reality. Turkey has become an active player and one
of the key levers of Tehran in Iranian nuclear negotiations following
the Iranian nuclear fuel swap deal signed between Turkey, Iran and
Brazil on May 17. Hence, a decision to give up its role would go counter
to Turkish foreign policy strategy to increase its political influence
in the region and prevent a conflict by mediating between Iran and the
West. By leaking such information, the US is could be trying to isolate
Iran by weakening its ability to use levers and drive a wedge between
Iran and Turkey, at a time when Turkey is more vulnerable to US pressure
amid increasing PKK attacks inside of its borders and diplomatic dispute
with Israel. Suggest re-structuring this brief by first stating that
this report is unlikely to be true and why (because Turkey is unlikely
to agree to any such deal as it runs counter to its fp strategy). Then
state the likely aim of the leak.

I have doubts about this report. No way will Turkey simply accept
dictate from the United States. Goes against the entire Turkish fp
strategy. Seems like a leak to try and shape Iranian perceptions. DC
wants to isolate Tehran and weaken its ability to have levers of which
Ankara is a key one. Such stories also have the potential to create
problems between the Iranians and Turks. Let us do a CAT 2 saying this.

Turkey agrees to stay out of Iran nuke issue
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
WASHINGTON - Associated Press
A senior U.S. official said Turkey has agreed to stay out of
international efforts to pressure Iran on its nuclear program,
Associated Press reported on Tuesday.
The official told reporters that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
had asked Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in a 45-minute
conversation Monday to leave the issue to U.N. Security Council powers
and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a private
conversation, said Davutoglu agreed.
U.S.-Turkish relations have suffered since Turkey voted against
U.S.-backed sanctions that ultimately passed in the U.N. Security
Council last month.
The vote came shortly after Turkey tried to broker a nuclear fuel-swap
deal with Iran as an alternative to sanctions.
The Turkish Embassy had no immediate comment on the Clinton-Davutoglu

I was wondering which bore brush is a good pick. I know some like the bronze, and some like the nylon, and some like stainless steel. That aside, Is there a company that blows the rest away with a well built brush? Like what brand does the us military use? I just get sick of buying the junk ones every couple months. I would spend some more money on one that lasts.

The military gets their stuff from the lowest bidder. I've used bore snakes, and I really like them, however I don't currently use one. I think my current bore brush may be made by hoppes, but I didn't save the packaging. What are you cleaning?
I use a 26" cleaning rod by Pro-Shot,it works really good. I also have a hoppes #9 bore snake that ive never used
Semper paratus.....virtute et armis
I have the boresnake too. It works very well, but I like to run a brush and patch thru before I run the snake. I just feel like It does a little better. Im usually cleaning a saiga ak. I only shoot russian ammo, and it gets very dirty, very quickly. Im not worried so much about getting it 'nothing on the patch' clean, it is an ak afterall. I just want a brush that will last, do a good job, and be as effective as possible,,, before I run my boresnake. Im looking at brownells double tough brusheshttp://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=1244/sku=084-144-300/Product/Fits-30-Rifle-pak-3 they 'look' pretty good
Also, if theres a solvent that anyone thinks is best for crappy ammo residue, Id love to hear it. I still use hoppes9, Ive tried a few(mpro7, breakfree clp, strikehold) and none have done any better in the cleaning dept.
good info turf, Ill look into that

UnlockablesUnlock the following bonuses by performing the corresponding tasks: |
Unlocking Yuan Shao-On the 'Battle Of Guan Du' scenario, play as the Cao Cao force and make ure thatYan Jin and Bai Ma do not fall. You will need a powerful character that can defeat enemies fast. Make sure to have Renbu Bag, a long Musou gauge, and a fast warhorse. The enemy officers will attempt to siege Bai Ma and Yan Jin at the same time. Move between them as quickly as possible to aid the guards. If either falls at any time during the battle, the target is a failure. Keep the enemy back and defeat Yuan Shao as fast as possible. |
Calling your horse during battleThis only works when you choose a horse at the inventory screen. While in the battlefield, when you are leaving your horse at far distance, press Down to have your horse return to your side. Note: Your horse might not be unable to reach you if there is an object blocking its way. |
Unlockable CharactersUnlock the following characters by performing the corresponding tasks:
Easy experience hints-Enter Free mode and choose the Battle Of He Fei Castle scenario under the Chaos difficulty setting. Have player one select a maxed Zhuge Liang and have player two select whoever you want to acquire weapons or level up. Have both players choose a quick horse with "Acquire Weapon" skill (for example, Auburn King for his "Steel Hoof" skill for charging into crowds). Zhuge Liang must be equipped with a 90+ weapon that has Ice element, Flash, True Musou, Air Wave and Mystic Seal. Having the Flash property is vital as it will immediately cut down enemies. Start the game. Have player two ride and jump into the pool of water below the belt trap where you cannot be harmed. Have player one charge towards Sun Quan's boats and ride onto the middle one (the boat just east of Sun Quan's). There is a Hua Tuo's Balm that can be found in an urn at the southeast corner of the boat which will fill your Renbu and Musou gauges. Ride as near as you can to Sun Quan without getting knocked off your horse. Because you are using a maxed Zhuge Liang, make use of the special start tome to soften him up. As your fire special attack is going off, pad your damage using your power attack, which will also clear out enemy officers and give you more chance to open up on Sun Quan. Just as your special ends and Sun Quan is getting back on his feet, dismount and unleash your Musou attack on him. Atthis point he should be close to half HP if not less, and finishing him off is easy. If he jumps or evades and is still standing after your Musou finishes, either bash him with your normal or power attacks or refill by attacking the crowd who, because of your fire special, are nearly dead. All of this will require about one minute. All three objectives will be completed and you will btain four weapons for each character, plus gain some levels for one who is not at the maximum. It is possible to do this with Zhuge Liang at lower levels, but it is important that if you do attempt it that you have the 90+ weapon mentioned as well as the following skills: Infinite Renbu, Flame, Hellfire, Stamina and Special Start. |

LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament
LPGA International, Legends and Champions Course
Daytona Beach, Fla.
Dec. 4-5, 2009
Due to the rain overnight and the conditions of the golf courses we will not be playing golf on Saturday, December 05, 2009. The third round of the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament will resume at 8 a.m. local time Sunday morning. At the conclusion of round three, players will then begin the fourth round.
Doug Brecht, LPGA VP of rules and competitions
Q. Can you give an update on today's decisions?
DOUG BRECHT: To go out and try to accomplish what we're trying to accomplish in this event is unrealistic right now. What we have witnessed here made the decision not to play golf today. The goal is still to complete 90 holes in this golf tournament. We're going to do as much as we can within our limitations and also the rules of golf to complete this and determine which players are eligible for the LPGA Tour next year.
Inclement weather suspends third round of LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Dec. 4, 2009 – Due to heavy rains hovering around the Daytona Beach area for the majority of the day, third round action of the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament was called due to unplayable course conditions and will resume at 11:00 a.m. local time Saturday morning. Australian Nikki Garrett remains the leader of the five-round event after playing just three holes on Friday.
When play was initially suspended at 10:29 a.m., Garrett was at 6-under-par overall through the first three holes of her third round. As important as this week of final qualifying for 2010 LPGA Tour membership is for the 105 hopefuls, the 25-year-old Garrett remains calm and collected despite the inclement weather delays.
"You know, that's what just comes with it," said Garrett. "It's really not that hard. I suppose you just have longer this afternoon to think about it. We can go shopping. We've gone shopping about every afternoon – that's our downtime. But, you just treat it like any other day I suppose. We're only three holes through. It's been fun."
Every player began their third round on Friday, and on Saturday every player will finish their third round on the Legends and Champions Courses at LPGA International.
The five-day qualifier is played on both the 6,452-yard Legends and 6,389-yard Champions courses at LPGA International, with a 72-hole cut to the low-70 players and ties. Those players will then compete on Sunday on the Champions course for the final 18 holes of play.
The top 20 players at the conclusion of the event will earn Priority List Category 11. In the event of a tie, a playoff will decide the 20th position. Players finishing in the 21st through 30th spots will earn Priority List Category 16, followed by 31st to 40th, who will receive Priority List Category 20.
Nikki Garrett, -6
Q. A day like this can make it a long week. How can you psych yourself up to finish such an important week of golf?
NIKKI GARRETT: You know, that's what just comes with it. It's really not that hard. I suppose you just have longer this afternoon to think about it. We can go shopping. We've gone shopping about every afternoon, that's our downtime. But, you just treat it like any other day I suppose. We're only three holes through.
Q. You've played three holes today. Three pars?
NIKKI GARRETT: Yes, three pars. I've hit my second shot on to the green on four.
Q. You're still playing well.
NIKKI GARRETT: Yeah, yeah. Other than that I'm still playing well. It's been fun. We've had a little bit of fun trying to think that we're in Queensland.

Toyota wants to help you scream at your unruly kids.
The latest version of the company's Sienna minivan has a feature called "Driver Easy Speak." It uses a built-in microphone to amplify a parent's voice through speakers in the back seats. It works only one way, so the kids can't talk back.
At least not with amplified voices.
The feature is an option on the 2015 Sienna, which is being refreshed with a totally new interior.
Analysts say such features are needed to help make out-of-fashion minivans more appealing to buyers.

Vitter makes it to most corrupt congressmen list, reactions remain mixed
POSTED: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 4:57pm
UPDATED: Thursday, September 13, 2012 - 8:06am
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — A Washington DC based watchdog group has named Louisiana Senator David Vitter as one of the 12 most corrupt members of congress. It's not the senator's first appearance on the list, put together by the group citizens for responsibility and ethics in Washington or CREW for short.
He was highlighted last year, and in 2007. The CREW report stated Vitter earned his place on the list stems from what the group has deemed attempted bribery of the US Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar. The senator sent a letter to Salazar stating he would vote to block his salary increases until the Secretary began to issue permits for Deepwater Exploratory wells.
A spokesman for Senator Vitter said, " The beltway liberals at CREW can attack all they want - Senator Vitter will continue to block Salazar's pay raise after Salazar helped shut down gulf drilling and put thousands of Louisianans out of work."
Lots of people when asked told NBC33 that while they're not happy to have the state of Louisiana connected to any rumblings of corruption, they're really more concerned with seeing their elected officials get something done with their time in D.C.
"Everybody has their right to defend their record and I believe he will. The most disappointing thing about congress is the partisan take it's taken on," Ronald Haley, a Baton Rouge Lawyer explained.
""I just expect them to represent me. When I see scandal like that, I know that's not a representation of myself," Margot Forbes, an area educator said.
"There's corrupt politicians everywhere that no one ever hears a word about. So if they're going to crack down on one, they need to crack down on all of them,"
Despite what some would call 'questionable' behavior by Senator Vitter we were able to find people that still support Vitter as their senator.

And now you don't have an audible trail: I can't be sure my ballot was counted correctly. The first comment above still holds.
It's not horseshit. It's happening. (444 comments)
I teach physics. The most depressing part of my job is teaching a general-education class where I have to explain global warming.
Scientists don't have a private agenda. We would LOVE to be wrong about this, but:
- Temperatures are going up worldwide
- Global temperatures are historically very well correlated to CO2 concentrations
- CO2 concentrations have a straightforward and well-understood effect on infrared light produced by
earth's blackbody radiation
- Even small changes to global temperature will create big changes to local climates
- We can stop this, but only if radical action is taken right now
- We're all fucked.
This is not the time for the debate about whether the effect is real. This is the time for debate about just how MUCH we should be panicking. We're in the deep shit here. We're talking about large proportions of humanity not having enough food to eat. The resulting warfare and hardship will be devastating.
Yeah, bad title. (59 comments)
You don't 'calculate' a measurement. Measurements often require some mathematics, but it's the incorrect verb. Calculations are theoretical.
Not enough net capacity? Build more! (361 comments)
The argument that the poor carriers are being bombarded by all this data (when our endpoint bandwidth is much less than other places in the world) is completely absurd. It's not because the internet wasn't "designed" for video, it's because competition hasn't spurred more development by the carriers. They've been living on capital rents.
This piece is naive in the extreme: it assumes implicitly that the only players are major content providers, carriers, and "consumers", and never speakers, telecoms, and citizens.
Re:at some point... (827 comments)
A couple of quick points..
- Tuition has gone up a LOT even since 2007.
- There are far fewer jobs to get, and those jobs are less flexible (since the employment situation means that employers can be pickier about people they take).
- There are fewer student jobs, because research funding is tighter (thanks, sequester!)
- Not all students have the ability to manage both a job and study. Just because you did it doesn't mean everyone can, and just because a student isn't brilliant doesn't mean they don't deserve an education.
- "Young white American male" has all sorts of implied privilege that not everyone has.
- Do we really want this to be the challenge?
Education is not for job skills (220 comments)
The primary purpose of higher education is to develop individuals who are capable problem solvers, who are capable of understanding complex ideas, and who have a broad base of knowledge for the context of those ideas. We need such individuals to have a thriving society and robust democracy. Few people seem to realize this.
Developing skill sets for the workplace is a decidedly secondary task of higher education. This isn't unimportant, but it isn't the primary purpose. This is why we don't have classes in plumbing or home finance, although those subjects could easily be taught at a university. Purely technical skills are valuable, but only to the degree to which they are generally applicable to a wide field.
No, it's not the Boomers failing to retire. (489 comments)
No. This is what we as young academics have been told for twenty years: the Boomers and pre-Boomers are about to retire, and there will be a lot of jobs soon.
The reality is that no, there is no large spike of retirements coming down the pipe, and even if there were, it does not imply there are job openings. Universities rely on large classes, heavy teaching loads, and especially adjuncts / sessionals.
Moreover, it is well-known that in the next decade or so, there will be a slump in the number of students, due to simple demographics. So, fewer, weaker students, and fewer jobs per student.
The OP is not just bitter: this is the honest truth about academia right now. And it includes the sciences and professional studies, too.
Re:Modulation (275 comments)
Actually, that's easy, and has been done: http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.2847
(Full disclosure: I'm an author on that paper)
Modulation (strictly speaking) isn't required. To make the system work, you only need semi-reliable one-bit fast communication, and slow communication otherwise. On the slow channel:
"I'll be ready to send a neutrino pulse at 12:00:00.000000"
"Send me a neutrino bunch at 12:00:00.000000 if it would be profitable to buy "
Then the beamline simply pulses or doesn't-pulse the beam at that time, depending on the financial data of that instant. It's basically a matter of firing or not-firing the extraction kicker magnet that pulls the protons onto the target that makes neutrinos.
Of course, the article under discussion about financial communication is a complete parody, obviously written to suck in gullible financial types. It doesn't actually lie - the system could be made to work, no problem - it just conveniently discusses only the cost of the receiving unit, not the 'sending' unit. The sending unit costs rather a lot more, which isn't mentioned in the article, and can't be aimed.
Basically, it's a cynical and amusing attempt for the neutrino physicists to try to get the bankers to buy us the beamline we want for purely scientific purposes. A more nobel cause cannot be imagined.
Really? Then do it. (568 comments)
This sort of comment is so arrogant, I have to call foul.
Are you an educator? Then why haven't you done this yourself? Why isn't education revolutionized as we speak?
Are you actually ignorant about how to teach? Then maybe you should learn about it before proclaiming yourself an expert.
Teaching is fundamentally about one and only one interaction: a teaching talking with a student. Notice the word "with": although some teaching can happen with one-way transmission, it's not effective. Humans learn through iterative processes of getting challenged, making mistakes, getting feedback, changing, improving, perfecting. This happens at every stage, even in the course of a five minute lesson or lecture.
Even when I am teaching college students, in a lecture setting, there is a LOT of two-way communication. I can tell when they don't get things. I can ask them questions to see how fast they respond. I can see them nod or frown. I can see them stare at their laps, smiling (which means they are texting instead of thinking). I can walk between them and look over their shoulders. They can ask questions. They can see my enthusiasm. They can participate in groups or singly.
Teaching is about conversation. Although there are ways of having meaningful conversation with 2,5, 10, even 20 people, the effectiveness of that conversation drops as the group sizes get larger, until you are in the 200 person lecture hall and the conversation becomes almost unidirectional.
"Scientists Say" (1276 comments)
Speaking as a scientist, whenever you see an article refer to "scientists" without any attribution, the best policy is to ignore it. Credit the specific person or group. "Scientists" are not a cohesive whole who all agree on everything, and this statement is almost assuredly not consensus opinion.
As to the content:
"Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
--Winston Churchill
Agreed. Search engines show what people think. (775 comments)
At least, that's the basic idea behind both Google and other engines: show results that aggregate the opinions or outlook of many people. Authoritative links are ones which many people use, useless links are one that no one uses.
The whole thing with Santorum is that, actually, there is a very large segment of people that despise what he stands for. This group is at least competing with (if not more powerful than) the population of people that think he's a sane politician worth listening to.
The disconnect here is mass media. According to the rules they have adopted, candidates are to be taken seriously when they hit a certain (small) proportion of support, at least if they are right-wing candidates, and open mockery or confrontation are simply not done. Hence, Santorum is a "real candidate" and shouldn't have this level of opposition.
But that's not reality. I agree: a disclaimer would implicitly say that the voice of the people is political... which is rather obvious and useless, since it's always true.
Re:High school doesn't prepare you for college (841 comments)
This is indeed the problem I see teaching introductory physics at a small college: students are smart, students are hard-working, but they don't have either the technical or study skills they need.
If there were better prepared in STEM fields, they wouldn't have as far to catch up in their first year, and so the "death march" would be substantially easier.
If they were better prepared to be challenged, to accept intellectual problems of much larger magnitude than they have seen before, then they would also be OK. They would know how use their hard work instead of revving in neutral, madly reading and re-reading textbooks they don't understand.
There are lots of things we can do to teach better, but all of those things require time, in class and out. We can't just 'make time' to do them: that would leave an undergraduate student without a complete education. (For example: we could cover only half of the topics on the MCAT, so future doctors would need to take twice as long learning science requirements, delaying their medical school by years and driving up their debt load.)
Pointless Apple-bashing (149 comments)
So, it took them 1 week to come out with an update to patch their browser? That doesn't seem an egregious delay to me. I haven't yet patched any of my other browsers yet. I'd be surprised if most users patch within the week of bugfix releases anyway.
And if I understand it, this "security hole" is basically that you won't get bad-certificate warnings if you visit certain fraudulent sites... which isn't likely to happen unless you're clicking links in phishing emails.
This hyperbole about apple being slow seems like hot air to me.
Looks like maybe bad science (246 comments)
Apparently my cheap-ass university doesn't have download rights to the original article in Neuroscience, but my guess is that the weak point is in the paper-and-pencil questionarre. The problem is that they aren't asking people how often they get distracted... they're asking people how often they _remember_ getting distracted.
An equally valid hypothesis is that big-brained people remember getting distracted more than small-brained people.
Again, I haven't RTFA so maybe they deal with it. They talk about inheritability of the 'distraction' scores, but that just means that it's something either genetic or social. In fact, there could instead be a correlation between 'big brained' and 'more honest'.
No. Empiricism does not require understanding. (1486 comments)
The only power of theoretical models is in making predictions. If I can can consistently predict the outcome of a set of experiments, you can trust that my theories are not wrong. You can never prove a theory right, of course. But you can throw so many tests at it that you can be sure that it's not completely wrong - and any contradictory evidence that comes forward will only modify your theory, not expunge it.
You don't have to understand wave mechanics to believe that it works. You can ask a theorist to predict what happens when you put two slits in front of a laser. They make a prediction, and then you see it. You don't even need to see it yourself. You can trust people whose job it is to look at things, just as you trust that books and newspapers haven't invented whole continents out of fantasy.
We can make transistors. We can make them very well. This shows we understand the principles of transistor-making, which we call quantum mechanics.
This is either stupid or a troll - yet another attempt to build a false equivalency between proven methods of finding out the truth, and unproven magical thinking.
Too bad we'll be out of helium (184 comments)
Unless you want to wait a few millennia for alpha decay to replenish our supply, there simply won't be anything like this... at least not for more than a few years. We are foolishly squandering our remaining supply.
Tek 1012B (337 comments)
I'm rather fond of the low-end Tek scopes. The LCD screen is a little slow, and there's only 2 channels, but these are not huge limitations for most basic work. I use these teaching physics and intro electronics to undergraduates - they're easy to use, lightweight, and can store data through USB or pen drives. 100 MHz for about $1200, which is OK for general use.
Re:Is ssh blocked? (403 comments)
I have done this from Beijing and it worked the week I was there.
FoxyProxy is a nice add-on to use for this, since it allows you to either whitelist specific sites for use through the proxy, or to simply switch back and forth to the proxy as you need.
Microtax on all stock sales. (446 comments)
There's already a better method, which doesn't kill liquidity (as some have suggested below)... simply put a microtax on all stock transactions of less than a percent.
Even this super-AI is going to make mistakes - it's profit margin is not likely to be large on the _average_ transaction, to microtaxes like this will keep this sort of activity to a minimum. Lots of people have suggested such a tax.
Basically: this sort of transaction does NOTHING for the economy except leech money from the people that actually produce things. Wall Street, as a whole, has a purpose: allocation of capital to build the economy. But there's no reason that people working on Wall Street should make more money than other facilitators or utiilities of our system, like payroll accountants or garbage collectors. The only reason they do is because we let them.
But that can be fixed (317 comments)
The Supreme Court has held for a very long time now that the right to free speech means the right to anonymous speech, especially political speech.
Yes.. for people. But not necessarily for organizations.
Of course, making such a distinction will require reversing a very old (and recently reinforced) precedent in US law, where organizations have personhood. Probably requiring an amendment. So it won't happen.

Great American Steamboat Company's American Queen Arrives In Home Port Of Memphis
PR Newswire
MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 26, 2012
MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Great American Steamboat Company's American Queen arrived in its home port of Memphis today after her first voyage up the Mississippi River since 2008. The U.S.-flagged steamboat was welcomed to the revitalized Beale Street Landing marking the return of overnight cruises on the great rivers of America's heartland and the continuation of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company legacy.
Originally built in 1995 by the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, the American Queen is the largest and most opulent steamboat ever built accommodating 436-guests. Steeped in history, nostalgia and tradition, the steamboat offers an unrivaled All-American hospitality experience from its elegant staterooms to its palatial public spaces and celebrated Southern cuisine of famed Chef Regina Charboneau, the line's Culinary Director.
"Today is a dream come true as we revive the fabled steamboat experience, introducing river communities to thousands of travelers, especially our hometown of Memphis," shared Great American Steamboat Company CEO Jeff Krida. "The smiling faces greeting us here in the 'Capital of Southern Hospitality' are humbling and it is no surprise most of our crew calls Memphis home."
As the American Queen approached downtown Memphis, it was met by the city's residents and family members of the crew. The Great American Steamboat Company has hired 300+ employees from the area, including the steamboat crew, and an economic impact of $89 million is anticipated for the region.
Guests began disembarking to explore sites such as Graceland and the legendary ducks of the Peabody Hotel boarded the vessel for an honorary inspection on behalf of Memphis. Friday, April 27, Priscilla Presley will serve as godmother of the American Queen in an afternoon christening ceremony at Beale Street Landing. Presley and the Great American Steamboat Company share a common passion towards the city of Memphis which will be a theme of the festivities featuring performances by local musicians, the sounds of the American Queen Calliope and a bottle of champagne crashing against the hull.
After the christening, the American Queen will depart for her inaugural voyage up the Mississippi River to the Ohio River with stops in Henderson, Ky., Louisville, Ky., and Madison, Ind., before arriving in her disembarkation city of Cincinnati, Ohio. On May 2 in Louisville, she will take part in the time-honored tradition of the Kentucky Derby Festival's Great Steamboat Race with the Belle of Louisville and Belle of Cincinnati.
A variety of voyage lengths, ranging from three nights to ten nights, and fares beginning at $995 per guest, offers exceptional value and convenience, with little or no flying required. With departures from iconic cities of Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis, St. Paul, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, this legendary mode of travel is easy to enjoy. A pre- or post-cruise luxury hotel stay, all bottled water and soft drinks, wine and beer at dinner and complimentary shore adventures are included in each port of call.
For additional information and reservations, kindly contact the Great American Steamboat Company at 888-749-5280, visit online at www.GreatAmericanSteamboatCompany.com or call your professional travel agent.
Great American Steamboat Company
The Memphis-based Great American Steamboat Company (GASC) is the owner and operator of the U.S.-flagged steamboat American Queen, the largest paddlewheel steamboat ever built. She will deliver an authentic and timeless experience inspired by the palatial Mississippi steamboats of the Mark Twain era beginning April 2012. With convenient departures from some of the United States' most iconic cities such as Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis, St. Paul, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, this legendary mode of travel will be easier than ever to enjoy.

Miles: 9826
Months in Fleet: Three
The GTI, being a front-wheel-drive car, is an able winter weather performer for its size and sporty disposition. And yet there's no doubt that as the snow has melted and the sun has shown its face over southeast Michigan, some of our editors have started to warm even more to our resident hot hatch.
The first of the GTI's fair-weather friends is associate editor Eric Tingwall. Back in January, he had a few complaints with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder's power delivery along with some unkind words about the car's highway ride. But now he's feeling a bit different:
"I've driven the GTI a handful of times since first getting behind the wheel in January, and a few of its idiosyncrasies no longer irritate me. The nonlinear throttle and corresponding lag issues fade away as you adjust your driving style to fit the car's personality - you just need to be more aggressive when leaving from a stop. I also haven't noticed the perfect sine-wave oscillations from the suspension that really turned me off to the GTI on my first drive. It seems the suspension has settled down - either that, or I have yet to haven't yet encountered the same array of highway expansion joints."
Production editor Jennifer Misaros, meanwhile, seems to be having something of a spring fling with the VeeDub, as she's requested the keys four times in the past month: "Those who pick cars after me probably don't get much seat time in the GTI because I sign it out so often," she writes. "The car is just so damned easy to enjoy, whether you're in the mood for an aggressive performer or a laid back commuter."
Not everyone was going to let the sunnier skies get in the way of their complaints, though. Senior Web editor Phil Floraday, for one, isn't a fan of our model's surprisingly long, heavy doors. "They're so long that the seatbelt, mounted on the B-pillar, ends up way behind my seat," he notes. Of course, the GTI is also available as a four-door hatchback, where this particular problem wouldn't be an issue.
More concerning are a few slight, yet persistent, interior noises. Several editors have commented on a rattle coming from the driver's door, and Misaros and this writer have complained of hearing a more substantial clunk from the dash when driving over large bumps and potholes. We'll be sure to keep our eyes and ears open as the year proceeds.

Sunday, April 22
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Attendance: 24,049
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Tyson Ross celebrated his 25th birthday by holding the Indians to one run over 6 2/3 innings on Sunday and the Athletics avoided a sweep with a 5-1 win.
Ross (1-0), who was called up on Tuesday, worked around four hits and five walks and struck out four to secure the victory.
"My whole game is keeping the ball down and sinking it, getting some ground balls and letting the defense work," Ross said. "Even with the five walks, I was able to keep the ball down and get some double plays and work my way out of it."
Seth Smith supported Ross with a two-run homer and Cliff Pennington added a pair of RBI for Oakland, which halted a two-game slide.
Justin Masterson (0-2) gave up four runs on six hits and six walks over five innings in the setback while Travis Hafner recorded the lone RBI.
Cleveland won the first two games of this series and concluded its nine-game road trip with a 7-2 mark.
Ross gave up consecutive two-out doubles to Shin-Soo Choo and Hafner in the first to fall behind 1-0, but the Indians failed to score again.
The A's tied it in the third when Jemile Weeks worked a walk with two down and Pennington followed with an RBI double to right. They took the lead in the fourth thanks to Smith, who belted a homer to right after Kila Ka'aihue led off with a walk.
Ka'aihue scored again the in the fifth, reaching with a two-out single, advancing on Smith's walk and crossing the plate on Kurt Suzuki's base hit for a 4-1 lead. Pennington added an RBI single in the eighth to cap the scoring.
"We had our chances, we had five leadoff walks and still couldn't do much with it," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "He made some good pitches and had us hitting into double plays. He had some good sink on his pitches, but we didn't score enough runs to win."

Hitchhiking in question, take the opportunity to ask the more experienced participants who have already made their own adventures, to develop a guide to how we can simulate the main components of the game. For example: what is the best material for making tiles?
Here in Vitoria - Espirito Santo - Brazil, I have trouble finding some of the ingredients to make my scenarios seem closer to what comes in the box with Mansions of Madness.
Amikezor has been a good friend and collaborated with valuable information. But I would like to expand that.
Big hug!

Nike really got it right in this second gen Method Core. The change in weighting along with the Method insert produces amazingly pure roll. Price is a bargain.
I wanted to try a putter that would be a change from my Ping Sonoma blade and this Nike is a great fit. I prefer a minimal off set, normal size grip, and a harder feel from the face. This putter provided the 1st two attributes with a softer feel. I'm not sold on the face but I do find this putter very easy to putt with. There's very little deviation on off center strokes. The quality was as expected for a used putter and the value was excellent. I will not hesitate to purchase from GG in the future.
This putter is very smooth. It has enough weight behind it to correct a miss. Unlike cheaper putters there is no hard bounce off the face. Very easy to control. I believe it has helped me make those 7-10 footers consistently.
The putters condition was explained perfectly and the shipping was very fast. I have always had a great experience with Global Golf. Highly recommended!!
This is the best putter I've ever bought.

North Carolinians Helping Storm Victims
North Carolinians are stepping up to help people in the mid-Atlantic and New England states affected by the storm. Duke Energy is sending crews to help restore power. Dave Scanzoni is a spokesman for the utility.
Dave Scanzoni:" Duke Energy has committed to send about 12-hundred line workers to the Northeast and impacted areas from Hurricane Sandy. These crews will mostly be contractors that work full time for Duke Energy largely in Florida and some from our territories in Indiana as well."
The crews will re-string power lines and clear debris from substations. North Carolina-based Lowe's has sent extra trucks of supplies to the hardest-hit areas. And the American Red Cross has volunteers and emergency vehicles on stand-by in the Triangle, ready to go if needed.

A solid breakfast smoothie. Recipe makes either one or two servings. If drinking as one serving, recommended for a meal, not a snack (~350 calories per recipe makes it a meal). Good source of protein, fiber, vitamin C, folate, iron, and maganese. Submitted by: TLTOUZIN
Hubby and I were big ice cream eaters until we started making these. We now make a lot of these and freeze them in 8oz bowls. It takes care of our ice cream cravings, and we get the fruit and milk benefit. The key here is to use frozen fruit, then you don't need ice cubes. And, the consistency is like frozen yogurt or soft serve ice cream. Yummy!Submitted by: TIME4ME7

Nutritious and quick, anytime of the day meal or snack. Substitute any flavor of yogurt, protein powder, or fruit to suit your own tastebuds. Submitted by: ASHGIRL31
Quick, easy and filling. Freezing the fruit makes a better consistency. I also buy the flax seeds in bulk, store in the refrigerator and grind my own once a week as I don't like the rancid taste of the flax meal in bags. This actually makes a very generous serving (almost 3 cups) so you could half it for a snack or pre workout meal and freeze the rest for later. During the winter we use strawberries in place of the mango which actually reduces the calories. Submitted by: COPEKAT

Making Security the Focus in Texas: A Forum on Bioterrorism
State Forums Partnership Program
Dates of Project: January 1999 to December 2006
Field of Work: Informing state policymakers about complex health issues affecting their states.
Synopsis of the Work: The State Forums Partnership Program was a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that enabled seven states to establish health policy forums programs that provided timely, nonpartisan information and analysis to help state policy-makers make informed decisions about complex health care issues affecting their states.
Texas was one of the participating states. After the anthrax attacks of September 2001, the Texas Health Institute held a forum on bioterrorism preparedness, as described in this sidebar.
